The quaternary ammonium compound N,N′-dodecyl-bispicolinium dibromide (bPiDDB) potently and selectively inhibits nicotinic receptors (nAChRs) mediating nicotine-evoked [3H]dopamine release and decreases nicotine self-administration, suggesting that this polar, charged molecule penetrates the blood-brain barrier (BBB). This report focuses on 1) BBB penetration of bPiDDB; 2) the mechanism of permeation; and 3) comparison of bPiDDB to the cations choline and N-octylnicotinium iodide (NONI), both of which are polar, charged molecules that undergo facilitated BBB transport. The BBB permeation of [3H]choline, [3H]NONI, and [14C]bPiDDB was evaluated using in situ rat brain perfusion methods. Cerebrovascular permeability surface-area product (PS) values for [3H]choline, [3H]NONI, and [14C]bPiDDB were comparable (1.33 ± 0.1, 1.64 ± 0.15, and 1.3 ± 0.3 ml/s/g, respectively). To ascertain whether penetration was saturable, unlabeled substrate was added to the perfusion fluid. Unlabeled choline (500 μM) reduced the PS of [3H]choline to 0.15 ± 0.06 μl/s/g (p< 0.01). Likewise, unlabeled bPiDDB (500 μM) reduced the PS of [14C]bPiDDB to 0.046 ± 0.005 μl/s/g (p< 0.01), whereas unlabeled NONI reduced the PS for [3H]NONI by approximately 50% to 0.73 ± 0.31 μl/s/g. The PS of [14C]bPiDDB was reduced (p< 0.05) in the presence of 500 μM choline, indicating that the BBB choline transporter may be responsible for the transport of bPiDDB into brain. Saturable kinetic parameters for [14C]bPiDDB were similar to those for [3H]choline. The current results suggest that bPiDDB uses the BBB choline transporter for ∼90% of its permeation into brain, and they demonstrate the carrier-mediated BBB penetration of a novel bisquaternary ammonium nAChR antagonist. |
